The final campaign

40At the time of the end, the king of the South will clash with him, and the king of the North will storm against him with chariots, horsemen, and many ships; he will enter into the lands and sweep through and pass on.

41He will enter into the Beautiful Land, and many will stumble; but these will escape from his hand: Edom, Moab, and the foremost of the sons of Ammon.

42He will stretch out his hand against the countries, and the land of Egypt will not escape.

43And he will rule over the treasures of gold and silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt; and the Libyans and Cushites will be in his train.

44But reports from the east and from the north will alarm him, and he will go out with great fury to destroy and to devote many to destruction.

45He will pitch the tents of his royal pavilion between the seas and the beautiful holy mountain; yet he will come to his end, and there will be no one to help him.
